Glad to hear it's working for your use case! I've seen lots of positive feedback about these Optiplex Micro's.
I’d love the option to move the jump button to the center (this is how I used it on Apollo) which would also solve your problem!
Interesting topic, thanks. What kind of speeds can one expect when downloading? Can it rival a well-seeded torrent?
Fully agree. One of the worst offenders is the PS5 whose standby lights can’t even be covered with tape properly because they’re complex curves. Even the clocks on my stove and microwave are too bright. I happened to have some black “washi” tape (basically masking tape) and it did a nice job of dimming them without looking out of place.
Love the new icon options! It was something I secretly hoped you’d implement down the road, and I’m amazed you found time to include it so early!
There isn’t a specific app with suspicious battery drain. Mostly it’s just Safari with considerable screen on time, which correlates with my actual observed usage. I think you’re right that for my use case, I’d ideally want a bigger battery. And if Apple ever makes a new Mini with a much improved battery, I’ll be first in line!
I’ll check out the MagSafe battery, thanks.
I'll probably get something in the iPhone 16 lineup next year, since I do understand I'll eventually have to give up on the small form factor. Battery health shows 86%. Also downloaded CoconutBattery on Mac and it says the phone is at 88.5% design capacity. I'm torn between spending $89 on the replacement or just sticking it out for another ~14 months, maybe using a portion of that money on a portable battery pack which could be used with another device once I retire the 12 mini.
I believe a dashed line on the left of a comment means it was written by the OP
This is a big one for me. Although, there were a few times where someone made an innocent prediction in one of these threads that ended up ruining a surprise for me later on. I’m choosing to view this as a small silver lining.
Thanks for the tips - I can manage a dummy plug if required. Glad to hear AMT would be local-only unless I take additional steps.
